A blog about Roman Catholic stuff and also politics!!

I might be pretty blunt in this article, and I’m almost going to have to be because the people of the world are so lop-sided in their mentality!! Sin is, more and more, becoming a way of life. Sin is being treated as “good”, while holiness is being treated like “insanity”, when, in fact, it SHOULD BE the other way around!!

I’m going to focus this article on one word—-CHASTITY!! Chastity is a VIRTUE and it comes in three separate ways: chastity in THOUGHT, chastity in WORD, and chastity in DEED (or action)!! Although they are separate, they also go hand-n-hand. You see, if you have unchaste actions, chances are you probably also have unchaste words and/or unchaste thoughts. In fact, it’s very likely that you have unchaste thoughts because actions are based on thoughts. If you’re going to have impure and unchaste thoughts, most likely you will also have impure and unchaste actions!!

Chastity in Thought: The way you think has a lot to do with your surroundings and how you were raised. If you are raised in a family setting where sin and impurity is the #1 way of life, and the kinds of actions you see your family members do, those are the things that will stick with you in your mind. If you do not have a rock solid Christian upbringing, where you love God and hate sin, you will be prone to sin and unchaste thoughts.

If you, or your family members (if you’re still living at home), watch porn—that will infiltrate and damage your mind!! Your mind will be full of impure and unchaste thoughts and, trust me, those thoughts are going to be very, very, and I mean very difficult to resist!! Porn is addictive!!

Here comes the rock-n-roll part, now. Rock music puts in your mind all kinds of wild fantasies!! For some people, it can put actively unchaste fantasies (and I’m wording this in chaste terms) in their mind. It didn’t do such to me. But, it can, and it probably does, to others!! Rock music has A LOT to do with unchaste thoughts, words, and deeds because it is full of MIND CONTROL!!

And, let’s not forget all the EXTREME impure, unchaste actions that we see daily on our television screens—-a FANTASTIC reason to toss that tv right out the window!!

Chastity in Word: We all hear, and many of you say, unchaste, unclean, impure, foul-mouthed words all the time!! It’s becoming common place to hear such . . . unfortunately!! In fact, we all probably hear such words on every single television show aired, except for cartoons—children’s cartoons, that is.

The fact of the matter is, too, that, for a lot of people, foul-mouthed language has become part of regular, everyday, talk among them. It’s become a natural for them—they just speak that way without even thinking about it. It has become habitual.

Children are going to pick up the language of their parents. If they hear the parents using all kinds of impure, unchaste, foul-mouthed language, the children will think that it is normal. It won’t be their fault, at all, for thinking such, either. If the parents let the children watch, and hear, such filth on tv, the same applies.

If the children hang around other friends who use such impure, unchaste, foul-mouthed language, chances are the children are going to do the same thing because they want to feel, and be, accepted among their peers. They will talk the same language as their peers because it’s the “in” thing—it’s the “cool” thing. Not all of the children will be this way, though. Some of them will have enough sense of their own to not do that.

But, parents, this is your responsibility!! If you really, truly cared about your children and are concerned about their spiritual welfare, you will make sure that they are chaste in their words and that they should receive a just punishment if they are not. But, YOU are the role models of your children!!

Chastity in Deed: Well, there’s a lot that can be said about this one. If you do not have chaste thoughts, you are not going to have chaste actions!!

I’m going to bring up rock music, again, here. Rock music can instill in your mind the thoughts—the desires—to make love with someone of the opposite sex (or in some cases, the same sex), and if you are a young man and a young lady and not married—that is definitely pretty bad!! The same-sex stuff is far and beyond really bad!! That is against the laws of nature and the laws of God!!! PERIOD!!

If a young man and a young lady have impure actions against each other and she gets pregnant—what if she doesn’t want the baby? In this day and age, these kinds of mothers most likely do not consider adoption. So, chances are, this kind of young lady is going to have an abortion. And there ya go—-one sin leads to another!! In fact, it’s one bad sin leading to even a more worse sin!! So, the best way to prevent the conception of a child? Don’t have sex!! It is also the safest way to prevent the conception of a child!!

This kind of stuff can, and needs to be, held off until marriage!! This kind of stuff is the main reason why a man and a woman get married—to have children!! In fact, this is the reason why we do have MARRIAGE!! CHASTITY TILL MARRIAGE!!!

So, ladies!! You need to respect yourselves . . . more!! A whole lot more!! You need to dress modestly and you need to act modestly!! And you are not “boy toys” and so do not let yourselves be treated as such!! You need to be proud of your virginity!! I am!!

And, young men!! You need to respect yourselves, too, and the young ladies!! Treat your girl like a queen and not like a “boy toy”—because she isn’t. If you really love your girl, ask her to marry you, and then after you reach the altar and say your “I do’s”, you can do what husbands and wives are allowed, by God’s Divine Grace and Will, to do!!

But, parents, you have a major responsibility here!! It’s your job to teach chastity to your children!! Now, you are not going to be able to control their thoughts because that’s beyond your capability as parents. But, what you can control is what your children see and hear—from both you and their surroundings!! You can guard their eyes and their ears as much as you possibly can. You can prevent them from listening to rock music!! You can prevent them from watching porn. You can prevent them from having friends that might give them a very bad influence!! You have this control—your children may not like it, and probably won’t. But, this is your responsibility, as parents!! Be a good role model to your children because your children are going to say and do what they hear and see you do!!

Parents, if you teach your children chastity in thought, word, and deed, right from day one, they will carry this on with them from the moment they leave your house as adults. They will carry this with them wherever they go and they will teach their children what you have taught them!! They will understand the importance of chastity and they will love chastity!! But, parents, you must be chaste, too!!
